I am looking for some advice regards buying a new tent, i have a vango milano two man at present but it took a bit of a beating a loopallu last year and is too small anyway for me and the wife.

I have been looking at 4/5man tents, i have seen a nice outdoor revolution 5 man tent, however the weight is over 15kg, is that too heavy for carrying? also it is a quite expensive tent over £100 would folk recomend getting something cheaper? any ideas would be welcomed.

Anyone any idea where I could find a good outdoor living room tent thing? With the heavy plastic sides with windows on it etc?

I saw that one too - looks a really good buy actually.

I think a day tent is kind of like a gazebo? That's what I thought anyway, a posh gazebo admittedly! For extra storage and putting muddy boots and for everyone to sit round and eat and so on.

A kind of extra living area at your camp. For partaking of port and cigars.

One measure of a good tent is the HH Hydrostatic Head measurement which you need to be over 3000mm but that speaks nothing of the seams- where a tent will likely leak. That is down to either luck or quality. However, ultimately... for a festie like Glasto I would take a risk with a cheapish tent and bring a huge groundsheet as extra cover and peg it down well. We all know how it can turn at Glasto and become very very bad... you can feel silly pegging away whilst others are on their 4th beer but you'll be damn glad when you return at 4am in the rain after a heavy sesh and hiding from the rain in Trash City!

    • Morocco are a good side, know what it takes in tournaments. Semi final last world cup, AFCON winners (kind off). No one should under estimate Morocco, I think they will win the group and get to the quarters minimum.     
    • Came to the same decision after age 40. I'm lucky enough now to be able to manage on only 4 days work, in a job that does not expect me to do more than my contracted hours. 
    • Looking like it will be beautiful weather at the end of June. Long hot summer predicted by various places including our favourite netweather nerds. Let's hope we get a repeat this time next year. 🌞
    • Just finished Spider Noir which was far better than I expected it was going to be. Nic Cage clearly having a ball chewing up the scenery and the most Irish Brendon Gleeson you have ever seen. Watch in authentic black and white only for the best experience.
    • After realising that I couldn't remember how season 4 ended I decided to rewatch the whole lot. I stopped after 4 episodes of S4 to watch Gen V season 1 as there is quite a bit of crossover then finished S4 before Gen V Season 2. Finished off with S5 of The Boys and I was a little disappointed. I still enjoyed it and they did well to wrap everything up but the inexplicable lack of budget for the final season really stood out for me.
